Description

This three-bedroom detached farmhouse sits on a plot of approximately 0.57 acres and includes several former poultry buildings. The house is arranged around an entrance hall, with two connected sitting areas, a kitchen and a rear hallway on the ground floor. Upstairs are three bedrooms, a walk-in wardrobe and a family bathroom. The kitchen has fitted wall and base units, an electric cooker and hob, an integrated fridge/freezer and dishwasher. The bathroom includes a corner bath, separate shower, WC and washbasin. Outside, the property has a front lawn, a small side garden, a side paddock and a large driveway and turning area. The outbuildings include a poultry cabin with a small office and WC, a further poultry building and a rendered brick structure. The particulars describe potential in the house and buildings; any proposed changes or alternative uses would need to be assessed for condition, permissions and feasibility. Bretherton is positioned between Chorley and Southport, with village and nearby community amenities. The listing also notes road connections towards Leyland, Preston and Chorley, with rail services available in nearby Preston and Euxton.

WHOTS analysis

Our WHOTS verdict

An internal assessment of the opportunity to acquire, improve and create value.

54out of 100
Grade DWeak opportunity

Confidence: LOW

This is a usable farmhouse with a substantial 0.57-acre plot, plenty of driveway and hardstanding, and several poultry and ancillary buildings that give the property its distinctive project potential. The photographed interiors offer scope to modernise, with dated finishes in the kitchen, bathroom and living spaces; the garden and outbuildings could also benefit from attention. The house and main roof look intact in the available views, while the outbuildings need closer inspection, including the building with asbestos roofing.

At £600,000, the score is 54/100 (D), a weaker overall opportunity rather than a verdict that the house lacks potential. Floor area is missing, so value against local £/sqf cannot yet be judged; the purchase price plus the £30,000–£55,000 renovation range gives a midpoint of about £642,500 before other costs, but without floor area or a stated resale value the economics remain uncertain.

Key opportunities

  • Modernise the dated kitchen, bathroom and photographed living spaces to refresh the farmhouse.
  • Make use of the 0.57-acre plot, generous hardstanding and multiple poultry and ancillary buildings, subject to inspection and verification.
  • Improve the garden and manage the overgrown areas around the outbuildings.

Key risks

  • Outbuildings show weathering and aged roofing; one building is described as having asbestos roofing, so condition and any associated work need assessment.
